In the very early days, it was often referred to with the 'Mama' bit added !
When the original
Bill Crudup song was re-released in early March 1949 it had the title
"That's All Right, Mama"It got lost on the
Elvis version...
That's a myth that's perpetuated in some places, like Wikipedia, but it has nothing to do with history.
In short, the three earliest versions of the song, Arthur Crudup (originally released in 1947, and again in 1949, both on RCA Victor), Elvis (Sun, 1954), and Marty Robbins (Columbia, 1954), were released as "That's All Right".
